PER with the deleted laptime

This has been an awful season for him. I think if he continues like this through next year they'll find someone to replace him (and it won't be RIC)

I say give Yuki a shot next year, he has been improving and is more consistent

[–] BURN 2 points 1 year ago

I'm inclined to agree. Yuki has matured a ton and you can see it in his driving. I'm worried it's still a little too early, but at a certain point it's sink or swim

[–] Determinator 1 points 1 year ago

Agreed, I'd love to see what Yuki could do in the Red Bull

[–] breakerfall 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Put him RIC in the ~~Toro Rosso~~ ~~Roro Tosso~~ Bed Rull next year.

[–] lhx 2 points 1 year ago

Agreed. Seriously doubt it will be DR. Maybe they give Yuki a partial season try like Gasly or Albon. Whatever they do, I imagine if Horner and Marko are leaning opposite ways, Horner’s choice gets taken since DeVries isn’t panning out.

He's still in second place in the championship and brings a lot of sponsorship money. Max will be champion and red bull will win the constructors this year. Unless the other teams catch up, I'm not sure red bull would risk replacing him with an unknown quantity or with someone who could really challenge Max before 2024. He will probably be gone after that though (end of his current contract)

[–] BURN 1 points 1 year ago

Yeah, I think they give him next season, and at the end of the contract they just won't renew and can promote Yuki (or Lawson if he's really as fast as they say)

There's no reason for them to break the contract early and it'd only hurt them

Was it confirmed to not be RIC? He wasn't too sharp last year, but if he finds himself some motivation he might not perform worse than Perez at this point.

[–] BURN 1 points 1 year ago

There's a lot of hype around RIC, but I don't think they'd give him the seat. If they're going to replace PER they'll probably look at the AT drivers first

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

At least he has pace this weekend
